New Class of Extrasolar Planet is A
'Waterworld'

An Earth-like
planet found orbiting a nearby star is rich in
water - a major step forward in the search for
worlds like our own, U.S. scientists say. This new
class of planet is enshrouded by a thick, steamy
atmosphere.

An international team of astronomers led by
Zachory Berta of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre
for Astrophysics made the observations of the
planet GJ 1214b using the NASA/European Space
Agency Hubble Space Telescope. GJ 1214b is smaller
than Uranus but larger than Earth, and is located
in the constellation of Ophiuchus, just 40
light-years away.

"GJ 1214b is like no planet we know of," said
Berta, lead author of a paper published in the
Astrophysical Journal. "A huge fraction of its
mass is made up of water."

The "newfound world" is too hot to sustain life as
we know it, according to the researchers. However,
its density suggests that it "is composed of about
three-fourths water and other ices and one
fourth-rock," they said.

The ground-based MEarth Project, led by the
Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics' (CfA)
David Charbonneau, discovered GJ 1214b in 2009.
This super-Earth is about 2.7 times Earth's
diameter and weighs almost seven times as much. It
orbits a red dwarf star every 38 hours at a
distance of 2 million kilometres, giving it an
estimated temperature of 230 degrees Celsius.

In 2010, CfA scientist Jacob Bean and colleagues
reported that they had measured the atmosphere of
GJ 1214b, finding it likely that it was composed
mainly of water. However, their observations could
also be explained by the presence of a
planet-enshrouding haze in GJ 1214b's atmosphere.

Berta and his co-authors used Hubble's Wide Field
Camera 3 to study GJ 1214b when it crossed in
front of its host star. During such a transit, the
star's light is filtered through the planet's
atmosphere, giving clues to the mix of gases.
"We're using Hubble to measure the infrared colour
of sunset on this world," Berta said.

Hazes are more transparent to infrared light than
to visible light, so the Hubble observations help
to tell the difference between a steamy and a hazy
atmosphere.

The team found the spectrum of GJ 1214b to be
featureless over a wide range of wavelengths, or
colours. The atmospheric model most consistent
with the Hubble data is a dense atmosphere of
water vapour. "The Hubble measurements really tip
the balance in favour of a steamy atmosphere,"
said Berta.

Since the planet's mass and size are known,
astronomers can calculate the density, of only
about 2 grams per cubic centimetre. Water has a
density of 1 gram per cubic centimetre, while
Earth's average density is 5.5 grams per cubic
centimetre. This suggests that GJ 1214b has much
more water than Earth does, and much less rock.

As a result, the internal structure of GJ 1214b
would be extraordinarily different from that of
our world. "The high temperatures and high
pressures would form exotic materials like 'hot
ice' or 'superfluid water', substances that are
completely alien to our everyday experience," said
Berta.

Scientists suggest that GJ 1214b formed further
out from its star, where water ice was plentiful,
and migrated inward early in the system's history.
In the process, it would have passed through the
star's habitable zone, where surface temperatures
would be similar to Earth's. How long it lingered
there is unknown.

Last Sunday (Feb. 19) was the birthday of our good
friend Brad Steiger, the famous author of many
books on cryptozoology, Forteana, and the
unexplained.

Brad was born Eugene Olson in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on
February 19, 1936. In 2012, Brad is alive and
well, living quietly and secretly in a hidden
location in the Midwest, avoiding stalkers, people
who misunderstand his books, and the frequent
autograph hound. Well, I’m sort of kidding, but
Brad’s fan base has expanded so much in recent
years, he rarely makes public appearances and
enjoys his calm life writing his next book or two.

Brad began his early adult life as a creative
writing professor in Iowa. The stories I first
heard about Brad, who has been a friend of mine
for decades now, was of this mild-mannered
professor who would run upstairs to his
near-attic-like office, and pound out books at an
incredible rate to support his family.

Brad’s life continued along a path that would
merge his writing with a pen-name that became his
own (he has officially changed his name). He found
the time and space to allow himself the freedom to
leave his former restrained framework behind him,
and he shares his life today with his beloved
Sherry.

Brad has written books since 1965, and his total
output is at about 170 books, with over 17 million
copies in print, until his next one appears.

Some of Brad Steiger’s books clearly show that his
beginning interests overlapped with where the
assignments in publishing wanted him to go,
through some Hollywood connections. For example,
his book Valentino (first edition, 1966) served as
the basis for the 1977 motion picture, Valentino,
directed by Ken Russell and starring Rudolf
Nureyev, Michelle Phillips, and Leslie Caron.
Steiger’s book, Unknown Powers (New York: Berkley,
1981) was adapted into the documentary scripted by
Don Como, Richard Cory, and Steiger. The
nonfiction movie won the Film Advisory Board’s
Award of Excellence for 1979. The film featured
Jack Palance as narrator with Will Geer, Roscoe
Lee Browne, and Samantha Eggar.

His books also demonstrate his ability to dive
into other subjects deeply. The Johnny Cash Story
(New York: Lancer Books) and The Country Music
Scrapbook (New York: Lancer Books) were both
published in 1970.

Here’s a partial list of books that Steiger has
authored or co-authored of special or near
interest to most of us here:

Monsters, Maidens, and Mayhem: A Pictorial History
of Hollywood Film Monsters. Chicago: Merit Books,
1965.

Mysteries of Time and Space. Englewood Cliffs, NJ:
Prentice-Hall, 1974.

The Strange World of Brad Steiger (Collection of
newspaper columns of the same name). New York:
Kensington/Zebra, 1975.

Monsters Among Us. Rockport, MA: Para Research,
1982. New York: Berkley, 1989. Lakeville, MN:
Galde Press, 2006. This is Brad’s most
comprehensive cryptozoological book. His chapter
on Momo is unique. His contributions added new
details on the sightings of this now famous 1972
Missouri “Eastern Bigfoot” or “Marked Hominid.”

Recently, rumors
were circulating that last year's
faster-than-light neutrino results had been undone
by a simple mechanical mishap: one of the fiber
optic cables connecting a GPS unit to a computer
may have been loose.

Last year, physicists published the results of a
3-year experiment that timed about 16,000 neutrino
packets launched from CERN facilities in Geneva,
travelling through Earth and arriving 2.43
milliseconds later to the subterranean facilities
of Italy's Gran Sasso National Laboratory. There,
the Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking
Apparatus (the OPERA particle detector) recorded
the hits.

When scientists discovered that the particles were
arriving 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of
light—with only a 10 nanosecond error margin—they
freaked out. Most physicists pointed out that this
must be a mistake, since Einstein's theory clearly
establishes that nothing can travel faster than
the speed of light.

But CERN repeated the experiments and found the
same results, which further puzzled out everyone.
Still, they vowed to find the cause of the problem
or definitely confirm the shocking findings. Now,
it seems that there may be a simple answer to the
whole problem.

Researchers at CERN have found out that a bad
fiber-optics link between a GPS unit and a
computer was causing the 60 nanosecond timing
discrepancy that was driving everyone mad. Once
they realized this, the cable was tightened and
the difference was gone. Yes, the
faster-than-light neutrinos are not real (at
least, we haven't detected them if they exist) and
the Universe can breathe once again and keep
destroying galactic wonders.

Apparently, the 60 nanosecond difference comes
from the time it took to the data to travel
through the cable, which fully accounts for the
unexplainable 60 nanosecond neutrino speedup.

At the time, anonymous sources "familiar with the
experiment" were the best anyone could come up
with in the way of an authoritative reference, but
late last night, the OPERA Collaboration (the team
of researchers that first announced the
FTL-findings) issued a formal statement.

The statement confirmed two things:

1) Yes, the team's FTL-findings have recently been
called into question
2) Yes, a fiber optic cable may well be the
culprit behind the experiment's puzzling results

But according to OPERA physicists, there may be a
second hangup. The statement reads in full:

The OPERA Collaboration, by
continuing its campaign of verifications on the
neutrino velocity measurement, has identified two
issues that could significantly affect the
reported result. The first one is linked to the
oscillator used to produce the events time-stamps
in between the GPS synchronizations. The second
point is related to the connection of the optical
fiber bringing the external GPS signal to the
OPERA master clock.

These two issues can modify the
neutrino time of flight in opposite directions.
While continuing our investigations, in order to
unambiguously quantify the effect on the observed
result, the Collaboration is looking forward to
performing a new measurement of the neutrino
velocity as soon as a new bunched beam will be
available in 2012. An extensive report on the
above mentioned verifications and results will be
shortly made available to the scientific
committees and agencies.

Did you catch that? Both of the proposed sources
of error are related to the experiment's use of
GPS, but each one would skew the neutrinos'
measured flight time in a different direction; the
issue with the oscillator would actually increase
the size of the measured effect, while the error
associated with the fiber optic cable would
diminish it. So what's the net effect?

Reuters is reporting that the loose fiber optic
cable appears to "be more significant" than the
problems posed by the oscillator, but it will
still be a few months until we know for sure. CERN
has also weighed in on the cable fiasco with a
release that echoes the points addressed in the
OPERA statement, but adds that "new measurements
with short pulsed beams are scheduled for May."

So whether it's a cable, an oscillator, or
something else entirely, it sounds like we'll have
to wait a few months before we know the net effect
of the two opposing sources of error.
Nevertheless, it's nice to know these physicists
actually have some tangible leads to follow — even
if it does mean debunking what would have been the
biggest paradigm shift in recent history.

On a fairly frequent basis, I get asked if I think
there could be one or more “secret government
files” on me. Well, as someone who writes about
UFOs in terms of what officialdom knows about the
subject, I can never say for sure that such files
do not exist. And, one of the reasons for this is
that the Freedom of Information Act has clearly
demonstrated that certain authors of books on the
UFO subject have indeed been secretly watched by
officialdom – even to the extent of having their
books reviewed by government agencies!

Although not widely known, the FBI has on various
occasions taken more than a passing interest in
monitoring publications on the UFO subject. To
illustrate this, June 1966 saw the first printing
by Lyle Stuart Publishers of Frank Edwards’ book,
Flying Saucers – Serious Business. By October of
that year, Edwards’ book was in its third
printing.

On 16 October, it was announced in the This World
supplement of the San Francisco-based newspaper
The Examiner & Chronicle that the
Congressional Representative of Michigan (and
later US President) Gerald Ford, was pressing for
Congress to look into the UFO matter. It was also
announced that the US Air Force had commissioned a
University of Colorado physics professor named
Edward U. Condon to conduct an in-depth study of
unidentified flying objects.

An FBI memo of 19 October 1966 stated: “…The [This
World] article also points out that since last
summer pressure has been mounting for the
establishment of an independent, civilian
controlled investigative agency to look into the
UFO problem…[Edwards’ book] is probably a
contributing factor to the current controversy.”

That both Edwards and his book were of interest to
the FBI is something spelled out further in the
3-page Bureau document of 19 October, which –
given its significance and relevance – I will
quote at length:

“In [Flying Saucers – Serious Business] Edwards
points out that flying saucers were observed in
the spring of 1946, in Scandinavia and Russia
(which he points out is about a year from the date
of the testing of the Alamogordo atomic bomb), and
the book documents many reports throughout the
world of UFOs since that date, and claims that
1965 was the year of the greatest number of UFO
sightings and that these were observed by multiple
witnesses.

“It is author Edwards’ contention that UFOs are
space vehicles sent to observe activities on earth
and the Air Force, which is charged with the
responsibility of investigating UFOs, has
deliberately withheld information and given
misleading explanations because it was fears a
mass panic by the public if the public were told
the truth.

“The book describes UFOs as polished metal
objects, radiating heat and light (sufficient to
have burned witnesses who were too near), and
emitting some force field that interferes with
electromagnetic instruments and power sources.
Colors range from brilliant white to dull reds and
brilliant orange. Some objects have carried
blinking lights. There are three basic shapes: 1)
Zeppelin-shaped ships up to 300 feet long; 2)
disk-shaped objects ranging from a few feet in
diameter to 100 feet, with many reported at about
30 feet diameter; and 3) egg-shaped objects, which
according to the author are the ones most recently
sighted.

“According to the book, the objects move silently
and attain fantastic speeds, yet can hover
motionless in mid-air; they have been reported to
land and take off with great speed, usually with a
burst of light from the underside, which in some
cases has left the ground beneath them scorched.

“Many of the persons named in the book who have
reported them are reliable individuals, including
law enforcement officers, military personnel on
official duty, military pilots, commercial airline
pilots, civilian defense officials, etc. A number
of photographs of the objects have been reproduced
in the book, some reportedly taken by reputable
persons. Many reported sightings are from atomic
and missile research areas.

“Wreckage of crashed saucers has been reportedly
recovered on at least three occasions, in one case
described as a magnesium alloy, in another as pure
magnesium, and in a third case, attributed to an
official of the Canadian government, the material
was described as an exceptionally hard unknown
metal, actually a matrix of magnesium
orthosilicate which contained thousands of
15-micron spheres throughout, and showing evidence
of micro-meteorites on its surface.

“A few witnesses have reported seeing crewmen who
have landed from the objects, who are described as
three and a half to four feet tall, wearing what
appear to be space suits and helmets.”

The FBI noted, in their final words on the matter:
“Author Edwards concludes this book with a
prediction that in the near future UFOs will make
an ‘overt landing’ or deliberate contact with
earth. A copy of this letter is being directed to
Denver, in view of the contract to Dr. Edward U.
Condon. The above is being called to the Bureau’s
attention in view of the press report of mounting
pressure for a civilian controlled investigative
agency to handle UFO matters.”

Having discussed the issue of UFOs with a number
of journalists in the mainstream media, I know
that many view the hypothesis that government and
intelligence agencies are taking an interest in
the activities of civilian UFO researchers as
little more than paranoia. Yet, as the remarkably
detailed document cited above makes clear, those
of us that enter the field of UFO research and
begin publishing the details of our discoveries,
can expect to soon attract the attention of the
official world…

From The Book: Kahuna
Power: Authentic Chants, Prayers and Legends
of the Mystical Hawaiians by Timothy
Green Beckley

The boat pitched back and forth as we climbed
aboard. There was a bit of a breeze out on the
ocean, and it took us a few minutes to get our
water legs.

Psychic Penny Melis and her daughter Mayven had
joined me on my return trip to the Islands. On
an earlier voyage I had discovered the most
amazing things about the legends and lore of the
50th State. I found out for example, that UFOs
were considered by many of the native Hawaiians
as being part of the spirit world. That they had
experienced many astounding sightings and
encounters going way back in their history. And
that in recent years contact apparently had even
been made with alien beings and the wreck of a
crashed UFOs had been found on the beach. Being
a sensitive whose roots lay with the shamanic
community, Penny wanted to experience for
herself the mysticism of the Hawaiian culture,
and in particular undergo her own close
encounter with the friendly aquatic creatures
that populate the waters of the Pacific.

Mayven had seen dolphins on television and in
the movies, and even though she was not an
experienced swimmer—hell, she was only four at
the time of our expedition—she genuinely pushed
her mother to take her on the adventure of a
lifetime, one that would certainly grow with her
as she matured. To say that Mayven took to water
is hardly the way to explain her ability to
adapt to an unknown venue. She was bobbing and
weaving in the clear blue ocean, safely secured
in a life jacket and held in the experienced
hands of a seasoned swimmer.

The captain of our sea-faring vessel later
commented on how she felt almost certain more
dolphins followed our boat than was usual,
picking up the friendly vibes of the child as
well as the even temperament of those who had
come onboard to make friendly contact with
another species. Of course, some believe that if
you can establish communications with dolphins
you can possibly “speak” with Et.

Captain Nancy, as she prefers to be called, has
degrees in both geology and oceanography and a
solid academic background that serves her well
in her current profession as a seafaring tour
guide in Hawaii. But her real expertise involves
the kinds of things they don’t teach you in any
college or university. Captain Nancy is, as you
will see in the following chapter, one who not
only swims with the dolphins but also speaks
their language.

The story begins sort of tragically. It was
1994, and Captain Nancy had suffered injuries
from four separate car accidents and was not
fully recovered.

“I wasn’t doing very well
physically,” she said. “I was feeling a lot of
neurological challenges.”

After attending a seminar on the local dolphins
in Kona, Hawaii, she experimented with swimming
with the creatures.

“I just felt tremendously
better,” Captain Nancy said, “after one week of
swimming with the dolphins. I stayed for another
two and a half months and then never went home.”

CONVERSING IN THE WORLD OF VIBRATIONS

In the ensuing years, she learned that the
dolphins do indeed have their methods for
communicating with human beings.

“All you have to do is think
a thought,” Captain Nancy explained, “and your
thoughts carry a vibration. The dolphins are
very sensitive to vibrations, and they will pick
up whatever vibratory energy you’re putting out.
Then they will send you a vibration
back. It’s as simple as any other vibrations
we’re picking up from humans or other animals.
In my case, I just sort of know. I just get an
answer when I’ve asked a question. The thought
process comes back very clearly, very
distinctly, of ‘This is your answer.’

“It’s changed my life
completely,” she added. “I’m a very different
person than I was before I swam with the
dolphins. It really opens your heart.”

A TRANSFORMATION OF THE SOUL

The changes made by the dolphin experience may
even penetrate to the cellular level, according
to Captain Nancy.

“My belief is that even my
DNA has changed tremendously,” she said. “I’ve
softened greatly. I’m much more compassionate
and understanding of people than I was before I
came out here and worked with the dolphins. I
have information that gets ‘downloaded,’ the
best way that I can explain it, that I don’t
know where I ever learned it. It just shows up
in my mind.”

When Captain Nancy does her
briefing of her passengers each morning before
her tour sets out, she characterizes what she
typically says as “dolphin channeling.”

“Every time I do a briefing
on my boat,” she said, “it’s a different set of
information. And I know that that’s information
that the dolphins want any particular group to
hear.”

Captain Nancy said her dog Pluto also
communicates with the dolphins by imitating the
noises they make.

“He can hear their vibrations
and their sounds,” she said, “that we can’t
hear. So he’s learned to mimic their noise.”

PRECOGNITIVE CREATURES OF THE SEA

The dolphins also seem to be aware of future
events.

“The days when the tsunami
was coming,” Captain Nancy said, “two
Christmases before, we had very strange days out
here. Everybody was back at the harbor saying,
‘Gosh, the dolphins are acting peculiarly.’ We
didn’t know what was happening. We just knew
that something was happening. The same thing
happened when the Iraq war broke out, a similar
kind of strange behavior. I don’t always
necessarily know what that behavior is going to
translate into. In my case, it’s more like I
just know something’s wrong.”

At the time the interview was conducted, in the
spring of 2006, the dolphins were pretty much in
a state of gentle contentment.

“We haven’t seen any unusual
behaviors,” Captain Nancy said, “in the last few
weeks that I would say was pertaining to
something special. What we mostly find, and
what’s very interesting, is how they change from
person to person. Sometimes they’ll start to get
very close, what we call ‘kissing distance.’ And
there are other days when we have a harder time
finding the dolphins, and when we do, they don’t
want to interact with these people. It’s always
curious to me.”

DOLPHINS AS MATCHMAKERS

The dolphins often react with Captain Nancy’s
passengers in a way that seems perfectly suited
to the passengers’ specific needs.

“We had a wonderful lady who
was having some relationship challenges,”
Captain Nancy said. “She had her own set ideas.
She really wasn’t certain about this idea of
communicating with dolphins, but she would try
it. Basically, she went out with the dolphins
and finished the swim just buzzing. She could
feel her whole body vibrating. The end of the
story was that she ended up meeting the man of
her dreams that night and falling in love and
soon after got married and had a child. She had
been just about to marry somebody else and was
sort of ‘close-minded,’ but she came out here
and thought, ‘Gosh, I wonder what the dolphins
have to say?’ She was headed left and she
suddenly turned right. We hear stories like that
from people all the time.”

Captain Nancy explained further about what she
felt had happened to the woman.

“She went back to the
mainland,” Captain Nancy said, “and just
absolutely fell in love with this man and said
that it was all so clear when she was with the
dolphins, that this was generated by the shift
that she needed to make within herself, to be
ready for this more perfect man for her. It was
an internal shift that happened within her that
prepared her to be with somebody who was more
appropriate to her new energy field that went
with the dolphin experience.”

A GENTLE NUDGE TO LOOK BACK

In addition to their matchmaking skills, the
dolphins are playful and seem to enjoy a good
joke now and then. They can also perhaps impart
a valuable lesson at the same time. Captain
Nancy told the story of a family she took out on
her boat one day.

“The mother and the children
were having this amazing dolphin experience,”
Captain Nancy recalled. “But the father kept
coming back to the boat and saying, ‘Nancy, I
haven’t seen the dolphins.’ I’d watched this
dolphin following him all day long, right behind
his hip. I said, ‘The dolphins are right behind
you. Just look behind you.’

“He went off and swam again
and here’s this dolphin right behind him. And he
still came back to the boat and said, ‘I haven’t
seen a single dolphin. My family’s having this
amazing experience, with the dolphins so close,
but they’re not coming to me.’ So finally he
gave up. I just couldn’t help but ask him, ‘What
is there in your life that’s behind you that you
don’t want to look at?’ Because he wouldn’t look
behind him to see the dolphins. Sometimes
they’re little tricksters and they play games
with people like that.”

THE JOURNEY TO THE LIGHT

Along with the humor, however, there are also
tears.

“One of my saddest stories,”
Captain Nancy said, “is about a little boy named
Eli. He was very sick with cancer. He was about
six years old, and he and his mother and I were
out swimming with the dolphins. When you’re
swimming with the dolphins, when the sun is
shining, you see this gorgeous light that looks
like this vortex. And I kept getting it in my
head, ‘Tell this lady that when Eli dies, he’s
going into this light.’ I kept thinking, ‘I
can’t tell this woman her child is going to die.
She’s brought him here to be healed with the
dolphins.’”

The message to Captain Nancy’s head persisted,
growing louder and louder.

“Finally, I tried very
tactfully,” she said, “to say to her, ‘You see
this light? This is what Eli is going to go to
when he passes on and makes his transition.’ So
about six months after they were here, I started
to get emails from them saying Eli isn’t doing
very well, but he wakes up every morning from a
dream, saying ‘Mommy, Mommy, don’t wake me up. I
want to stay with the dolphins. I keep dying,
but the dolphins keep saving me.’

“About a month after that,”
Captain Nancy continued, “Eli did make his
transition. His mother said that up to the
moment that he was passing on, he kept saying,
‘Mommy, it’s okay. I’m going to go into the
light with the dolphins.’ They made a stained
glass window in honor of Eli with the dolphins
swimming up into the light. His family was very
touched. His mother said the most calming thing
she remembered was swimming with me and the
dolphins and me showing her the light and
reminding her that Eli is just going to the
light. I think, had I never said that to her,
and if I hadn’t gotten that message in my
head—it would never occur to me to tell a
mother, ‘Your child is going to die and go into
the light.’ But that’s some of the
communications that the dolphins give.”

THE DOLPHINS HAVE A MISSION

The dolphins have come to Earth as messengers,
Captain Nancy believes.

“They really are our brothers
and sisters of the sea,” she said. “They’re more
intelligent than we are. They truly come as
messengers. Some people call them ‘the angels of
the sea.’ Why? You’d have to ask the dolphins.

“We get people that want so
badly to connect with them,” she went on. “I
think that is the dolphins ‘calling’ people.
It’s the dolphins’ mission, and it’s why they’re
here on the planet. When they get a significant
number of people that have been touched with
this energy that they are evoking through their
sonar, then indeed I think we’re going to see
that New World Order that we’ve been talking
about. It’s beginning to happen. It’s beginning
to form.

“The dolphins and the whales
are both a very critical piece, connected in
with the ETs, and it’s all a divine triangle of
helping mankind to evolve into our next level of
evolution. That’s the energy that the dolphins
are trying to give us, by connecting with us,
‘sonar-ing’ us, implanting information for
people to live a life in more harmony. A world
of peace, everything that we all dream to
be—that’s what the dolphins say you can have
every day.”

The pale Edwardian figure made frequent visits
to the mansion home of Alan Smith, always
accompanied by the music of Chopin, according to
the startled souls who bore witness.

Her interest in the house was a mystery – until
the discovery of a long-lost painting that
appeared to feature the very same person,
sitting at a piano.

When the portrait was returned to Heale House’s
drawing room, the sightings stopped.

Mr Smith was so fascinated he decided to
investigate the history of the painting – and
uncovered the sad story of the uninvited guest.

He identified the woman as a Mrs Bell, one of
the 15-bedroom mansion’s previous occupants, who
had been bankrupted and forced to sell all her
possessions – including her beloved portrait –
shortly before her death in the early 1900s.

Mr Smith said her ghost ‘would walk along the
corridors and in the bedrooms, usually at about
one o’clock in the morning’.

He continued: ‘She was usually wreathed in a
blue haze and just drifted around – you couldn’t
see her legs. Sometimes she would even arrive at
the bottom of my bed in the middle of the night.

‘I thought there must be some kind of scientific
explanation, but other people who visited the
house were terrified – and they now believe
she’s been put to rest because she got her
painting back.’

Mr Smith’s family had seen the apparition many
times at the house, near Bideford, Devon, before
Mr Smith was approached by the owner of a local
junk shop, who asked him: ‘Are you the master of
Heales?’

She told him she had something that should be
returned to its rightful home and showed him the
picture, thought to be by Cyril Roberts, a
prominent painter who was based in Paris.

The face was eerily familiar to Mr Smith and he
quickly realised it depicted the woman his
family had been visited by – and she was seated
at a piano in his drawing room.

His research unmasked the subject as Mrs Bell,
wife of an Argentine beef rancher who lived in
Heale House in the early 1900s.

‘From what we know about Mrs Bell, she was a
very cultured lady,’ said Mr Smith.

‘It must have been sad for her to see all of her
possessions sold.’
He confirmed that after the portrait was placed
in the drawing room, ‘she never appeared again’.

‘We even tried to use a Ouija board to bring her
back but it looks as if she’s gone forever,’ he
added.

The story came to light when Mr Smith, 70, took
the picture to be appraised on the Antiques
Roadshow.

YELLOWSTONE
NATIONAL PARK — Yellowstone Lake and the rugged
backcountry that surrounds it is a place where
millions go seeking solitude and silence. Yet it
in a well-documented but rarely discussed
phenomenon, some visitors to the Lake area have
experienced remarkable celestial sounds of
unknown and unexplained origin.

“They resemble the ringing of telegraph wires or
the humming of a swarm of bees, beginning softly
in the distance, growing rapidly plainer until
directly overhead, and then fading as rapidly in
the opposite direction,” wrote Hiram M.
Chittenden in 1895 in his book, “The Yellowstone
National Park.”

Chittenden’s description is one of several in
the historical record — as well as many more
from popular anecdotal accounts — of strange
sounds or “lake music” coming from the skies
around Yellowstone Lake and Shoshone lake.

Chittenden was an accomplished engineer with
rigorous scientific discipline who built roads
and bridges in the park, as well as locks in
Seattle’s Lake Washington Ship Canal. He was not
given to idle speculation or unsubstantiated
gossip about seemingly magical events.

But he is hardly the only — or even the first —
prominent Yellowstone visitor to write about the
strange and unexplained lake sounds.

Edwin Linton, a professor of biology at
Washington and Jefferson College and a
specialist in marine parasites was working in
Yellowstone in the summer of 1890 as part of a
project for the U.S. Fish Commission. Linton,
his colleagues and his guides heard the
mysterious sounds more than once during that
trip, and he drew from his own diary entries
when he wrote an account of the odd experience
for the Nov. 3, 1893 edition of the prestigious
journal Science.

“On the following morning, we heard the sound
very plainly,” Linton wrote. “It appeared to
begin directly overhead and to pass off across
the sky, growing fainter and fainter towards the
southwest. It appeared to be a rather
indefinite, reverberating sound, characterized
by a slight metallic resonance.”

Linton and others have described the sounds as
“harp-like” or similar to human voices or the
sound of metal cables crashing against each
other, but no satisfactory explanation has yet
been offered for their origin.

Lee Whittlesey, historian at Yellowstone Park
and a longtime resident of the region, said that
the Yellowstone Lake sounds aren’t often
discussed by park insiders.

“You have to have a real interest in Yellowstone
history to even be familiar with it,” said
Whittlesey, who has written several books and
articles about Yellowstone history.

“There are a number of pieces written about it,
but it’s often deeply buried in the literature,”
he said.

Despite how far-fetched the phenomenon sounds,
Whittlesey said he’s confident the sounds have
existed and the historical accounts about them
are credible.

“It has been reported by too many people for it
to be any kind of Bigfoot thing or something
like that,” he said.

Respected scientists and prominent park figures
have reported hearing the sounds, and accounts
have appeared in books, journals and newspapers,
Whittlesey said, although the last new written
report may have been as far back as the 1930s.

Typically, accounts of the sounds state that
they take place at or near Yellowstone Lake or
Shoshone Lake on a clear day when there is
little or no wind and the waters are still,
usually in the morning.

Geologist Frank H. Bradley explored and
documented Yellowstone’s natural wonders as a
member of the Hayden Expeditions, and wrote in
1873 about hearing odd sounds along the shore of
Yellowstone Lake.

“While getting breakfast, we heard every few
moments a curious sound, between a whistle and a
hoarse whine, whose locality and character we
could not at first determine, though we were
inclined to refer it to water-fowl on the other
side of the lake,” Bradley wrote in his account
of the geologic survey of the area.

“I have listened for it because I found it so
interesting,” said Whittlesey, who has lived and
worked around Yellowstone for more than 35
years.

“I first learned of it in the early 70s, and
over the years kept running into references to
it here and there,” he said. “So I listened for
it any time I was camped in the backcountry
anywhere near Yellowstone Lake or Shoshone Lake,
and I never have heard it.”

Terry Dolan, a tour guide based in Cody, Wyo,
said he has not only never heard the sounds, but
was not familiar with details of the historical
accounts of them.

There have been various explanations proposed
for the sounds, ranging from fanciful
speculation to educated guesses, often centered
around the park’s unique geology.

An August 1930 article in Popular Science
magazine cited “mild earthquakes, their sounds
possibly magnified in underground caverns like
sound boxes” as one potential explanation.

The article also referenced a theory put forward
by F. C. Marvin, chief of the U.S. Weather
Bureau, who based his ideas on observations by
Glen Jefferson, a Yellowstone meteorologist.

Marvin noted that temperature inversions are not
uncommon above Yellowstone Lake, where warmer
air above the lake sits atop cooler air near the
water’s surface.

He posited that such inversions “may alter the
normal way that the air conducts sound,” the
article states. “It might produce sound mirages,
in which distant noises of geysers, birds or
steamboats might appear to come from near at
hand.”

Other theories are referenced dismissively by
Stephen Forbes, of the Illinois State Natural
History Survey, who wrote about hearing the lake
sounds while on the same expedition as Linton.

“No scientific explanation of this really
bewitching phenomenon has ever been published,
although it has been several times referred to
by travelers, who have ventured various crude
guesses at its cause, varying from that
commonest catch-all of the ignorant,
‘electricity,’ to the whistling of the wings of
ducks and the noise of Steamboat Geyser,” Forbes
wrote. “It seems to me to belong to the class of
aerial echoes, but even on that supposition I
cannot account for the origin of the sound.”

If the sounds are related to the park’s geology,
they come and go along with thermal features
like geysers or hot springs, which wax and wane
over years or even decades depending on a
complex set of natural factors.

It’s possible that some people in recent years
have heard the sound but kept mum about it for
fear of sounding foolish or being ridiculed,
Whittlesey said, but for whatever reason, the
lake sounds are not a topic most guides discuss
with visitors.

“I was a tour guide and a ranger naturalist, and
I don’t remember ever using it in a program,”
Whittlesey said. “It’s just not something that
is well known among Yellowstone interpreters or
Yellowstone tour guides.”

Despite the lack of any recently documented lake
sounds and the lack of a solid explanation for
them, Whittlesey is sure the sounds existed as
described.

“I feel quite certain these people all heard
what they wrote about,” he said.

It's
moving week at the CAC
household. Truck rented, boxes
ready, dust everywhere. While
carefully packing away my bacon
syrup, I stopped to reflect on
our time here. It was quiet,
spacious, a great place to
relax. Our landlord was the best
we've ever had, and always quick
to respond to any issues we came
across. Anything was a quick fix
here. Well, almost.

We had to deal with a ghost.
After dealing with it, we have
come to the same conclusion:
ghosts are just assholes.

Call them whatever you like:
specter, spirit, ghost, the
undead. I think they are just a
bunch of jerks without the
decency to just go away. We knew
these people when they were
alive. The same guys who would
cut in front of you on the
freeway. Who count change penny
by penny at the drive-thru. Test
every piece of noisy equipment
at 3am. Loud, pestering,
obnoxious, life-sapping jerks.

Ours in particular was
insufferably annoying. Lights
would go on and off (SoCal
Edison was probably in cahoots
with the phantom, which makes
sense because in life jerks
still find a way to be
employed), the constant
sensation of being watched, the
poking, the thumping, the
rattling of the blinds, the
footsteps, and the worst of it:
the sensation of someone leaning
over you when you are trying to
sleep. That last bit is hard to
describe, so let me pitch it in
a different way.

You know when you go to a
Denny's, and you order extra
bacon and extra pancakes, and
there's always some obese,
Rascal-riding jerk in the booth
behind you leaning over and
staring at your food, breathing
heavy? No concept of personal
space or manners. It is an
awkward, irritating feeling.

With our move, the activity has
spiked a bit. First I can't
sleep, then the soon-to-be
misses can't, then we both fall
asleep, and the lights turn on.
I pity the next couple that
rents here. I think our
particularly jerky spirit is
upset with us leaving, and like
a petulant child told no, its
throwing a tantrum.

Some people yearn to talk to the
dead. They think they will get
some great truth out of the
conversation. They assume the
mysteries of life, the universe,
and everything are all resolved
the second you croak. Many
actively seek an encounter with
a ghost. There are now whole
tourist divisions dedicated to
encounters with the unexplained.

These people are painfully
misguided. They don't understand
the true nature of what they are
dealing with. Ghosts, I now
firmly believe, are the assholes
we encounter in our daily lives,
doomed to walk the earth because
nobody wants to put up with
their nonsense. Neither the
Creator nor His detractor has
the time or the patience to deal
with people who whine at a
Starbucks barista that they
won't put caramel and whipped
cream on their (free) water.

So back to the world of the
living are they forced to wander
about. Every now and then, a
camera crew, a fat plumber, and
a few anorexic goth chicks will
come around and give them some
undue and seriously undeserved
attention. But for much of their
existence in non-corporeal form,
they continue to do what they
always did, and irritate the lot
of us.

Here is a good example of ghosts
just being downright obnoxious.
David Conway, author of the book
"Magic: An Occult Primer",
talked about during an interview
a pair of ghost that used to
visit him as a child.

"Every night after my mother put
me to bed, two elderly ladies
would appear at my bedside. The
taller one would stand back a
little, while her companion made
a big show of nodding and
smiling and blowing kisses in my
direction. At some point one of
them, usually the taller woman,
would lean over and tickle me.

Every evening without fail,
thin, bony fingers would reach
down and begin the same
relentless tickling while I,
powerless to stop it, thrashed
about in bed.

Throughout it all my tormentor's
expression stayed blank,
disconcertingly so, with no hint
of a smirk or scowl, just a
mindless, unflinching resolve.
Apparently my screams could be
heard outside in the street.

Night after night my parents
would try to persuade me it was
all a bad dream, but some weeks
later I was taken off to see our
elderly family doctor."

David explained to the doctor
what he saw:

"I went on to describe them in
detail and even provided him
with their names, as well as
diminutives that they encouraged
me to use."

It was recommended that David's
bed should be moved to another
room. After this the visits
stopped and never returned. Only
several years later did he find
out what the doctor had told his
parents:

"Years earlier, it seems, he
(the doctor) had attended two
patients in what was now our
house, elderly sisters now long
dead. Not only had I described
them in remarkable detail -
their hair, their clothes, even
the consumptive cough of the
older woman - but I had given
him their names as well as the
pet names each used for the
other. A mystery he called it."

The doctor may have thought it
"a mystery" but to me these
ghostly visitors were simply
being annoying jerks. It is bad
enough to have to go through
life being forced to deal with
people who talk on their cell
phones at the movies, or steal
your lunch from the company
refrigerator...but to think that
these idiots could stick around
after kicking the bucket is
almost too much to bear. So here
is some advise to all of you
inconsiderate twits, when the
time comes, go towards the
light...go towards the light...
